Red sun over Prominence

Nelu poured over the documents he had but could not turn up any definitive idea as to what was happening. The tremors had been concerning, and at first seemed like an earthquake but they lasted for the majority of the night. Nelu did not know earthquakes to last so long. He did what observation he could looking out the castle windows, searching for any signs of eruption from the volcanic locations in Auster and Boreas but he saw no large plume of smoke, only an eerie red glow when dawn rose.

HIs father called together a search party to investigate what had happened overnight and Nelu was quick to volunteer. He gathered his armor and weaponry, tucking a few items into the pockets on his leather cuirass before joining the group.

As they neared the center of Boreas his eyes lingered on strange spires that jutted up from the land. They got closer only to find that spikes seemed weathered and old despite the fact that they seemed to have simply appeared overnight.

"This is very strange. I can only guess that the emergence of these spikes caused the tremors." He looked to his father. "Is it possible these were buried deep in the earth and something caused them to jut out like this?"
